Behind the Hanguang Hall of the Great Zhou Palace, a green bamboo car slowly drove up, the curtain in front of the hall was light, Mo Yu appeared on the stone steps, and the starlight fell on her beautiful face, illuminating the slender eyebrows, bright eyes, and the touching plum makeup between the eyebrows.

She looked at the two snow-white reindeer in front of the chariot, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked a little surprised, and asked, "Where is the black jade?"

The black sheep had disappeared into the darkness of the night, nowhere to be found.

Granny Ning took her hand and walked down the stone steps, and said softly, "That little ancestor doesn't know where the road has gone. ”

Mo Yuzhi said that the black sheep had a somewhat withdrawn temperament, and never listened to the words of others in the palace, shook his head, and said, "That's a child." ”

Granny Ning glanced at the night behind the Hanguang Palace, and thought in her heart that he was actually a child standing by the pond now with nowhere to go.

Mo Yu knew what she was thinking, and said with a slight mockery: "The children's family, when it comes to angry cruel words, they come one after another, and they look the same, but they don't know that Lu Dao is just bluffing in the eyes of others, which is just ridiculous." ”

Granny Ning said: "The old slave thinks that people who are ridiculous are so cute. ”

A few months ago, Chen Changsheng's entry into the National Education College was handled by Granny Ning, and when she replied afterwards, Mo Yu knew that she had a good eye for Chen Changsheng, and at this time, seeing that she insisted on saying good things for Chen Changsheng, she didn't think it was wrong, because this matter was over.

Chen Changsheng can't get out of the abandoned garden, he can't appear in front of everyone in Weiyang Palace, he can't break the marriage contract between Xu Yourong and Qiushan Jun, at that time, no matter how many cruel things he has said, it can only become a joke, and all his anger can only burn himself more painfully.

The green bamboo car drove in the direction of Weiyang Palace.

The Heavenly Dao Academy's teachings were forced to commit suicide by Zhou Tong's notoriety, and the Qingteng Banquet needs to be presided over after all, not to mention that there are many important people in the southern mission to be received tonight, the Bishop of the Cardinal Office and Xu Shiji are in charge of watching the ceremony, His Royal Highness King Chen Liuwang is coming to the palace on behalf of the Holy Queen Niangniang, and Mo Yu will also appear in person to show his solemnity.

Granny Ning held the window lattice of the green bamboo car, and held the window with her left hand, still looking in the direction of the abandoned garden from time to time, with a look of pity on her face.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, nothing will happen to that little guy. ”

Mo Yu's voice came out of the green bamboo car: "No one can break the ban of Black Dragon Pond, unless someone opens the garden gate outside, no one can ever leave, he just stays in the garden and is blown by some cold winds, what is it compared to these things he provoked?"

Granny Ning thought about the rumor and said worriedly, "What if he touches a taboo?"

Mo Yu said: "Since it is a taboo, where is it so easy to encounter?"

She said casually, seemingly cold, but Granny Ning heard the tiredness in the meantime, thinking that on the stone steps in front of the hall before, looking at the plum makeup between the girl's eyebrows under the starlight, she couldn't hide the haggardness, she didn't understand that the girl didn't hesitate to use a secret method to trap Chen Changsheng at the expense of the true yuan.

"Girl, you promised that Miss Yourong would not do anything to that young man. ”

"Did I move my mouth tonight? ”

Mo Yu thought about the letter from the south a few months ago, and said angrily: "That dead girl doesn't want to marry him, but no one is allowed to do it, not to hurt him, not to harm him, to give such rules, otherwise why is it so troublesome, I need to spend so much thought." ”

With her terrifying realm cultivation, coupled with her terrifying position of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are tens of thousands of ways to deal with a teenager like Chen Changsheng, who can make him miserable, and he has no love, but he has to be so troublesome because of that letter.

The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and said: "My own family pointed to the door to break the family business, but I wanted to bother to do it, she hid in the south to be a good person, but she asked me to be this wicked person, you didn't hear how the young man scolded me before, if it wasn't for her, I would have killed him directly!"

Granny Ning smiled and said, "The girl and the girl are like sisters, so you should put more effort into it." ”

Mo Yu sneered and said: "It is said that the black jade is the little ancestor, in fact, that phoenix is the real little ancestor, the people of the whole continent think that she is ice clear and jade, ice and snow smart, ice carved jade, but I don't know that she is a stingy ghost, no one can afford to offend, if you really want to make her unhappy, she can do everything, I don't care about any sisterhood to help her, but I'm worried that her mind is not going well, I really don't marry Akiyama-kun, so what can I do?"

Granny Ning was relieved: "Fortunately, as long as tonight passes, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

The curtain of the car was lifted slightly, Mo Yu looked at the abandoned garden behind the Hanguang Palace, and the cold pool that was hidden by the old wall of the Autumn Forest, thinking about what Chen Changsheng said, and wondering if he could really pass tonight smoothly? What did he have to keep him here? What was the saint thinking?

......

......

After those few words full of sarcasm, Mo Yu's voice never sounded again, Chen Changsheng stood quietly in the abandoned garden alone, Hantan in front, plum tree on the side, his figure was no longer as lonely as before, as if his body was refilled with strength.

After confirming that Mo Yu had left, he began to walk forward, past the lonely plum trees, to the edge of the pool, and at the same time came a chill on his face.

The abandoned garden was obviously much colder than the rest of the palace, and the reason should be the cold pool in front of him, he carefully observed the water surface of the cold pool, and let the cold continue to spread on his face layer by layer, until a layer of frost gradually appeared on his eyebrows.

It's not masochism, but he wants to use the help of the environment to make himself calmer, he doesn't want to waste time in negative emotions such as anger - the few words he said to Mo Yu before were really like childish and useless cruel words, which seemed to be completely contrary to calmness, but he said it anyway.

The avenue is three thousand, and he cultivates it according to his heart. Go with your heart, live according to your heart, heaven and earth let him not go with his heart, he has to find a way to make his mind smooth, only according to his heart, in order to have real peace, and calm, is the highest state of calm.

Of course, he didn't want his words to turn into a joke, he had to leave the abandoned garden and rush to Weiyang Palace - before leaving the National Education Academy, he had already made corresponding arrangements, but since those big people could trick Luo Luo out of Weiyang Palace, he couldn't pin all his hopes on her.

How can I get out of this abandoned garden? In fact, he didn't even have a clue now, but he still said that to Mo Yu before, just like he told Tang Thirty-six and Luoluo that he was going to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination and take the first place on the list.

Obviously there is no reason, looking at things that are not possible, but he can say calmly and naturally, of course, that kind of self-confidence for no reason is very shocking and admirable in the eyes of those close to him, and it is naturally wishful thinking in the eyes of outsiders, which is extremely ridiculous.

Only he understands that this self-confidence comes from necessity. At the beginning of next year, he must participate in the Great Dynasty Exam to get the first place in the first place, then he will definitely get it, otherwise he will die. Tonight, he must leave the abandoned garden and appear in Weiyang Palace, then he will definitely be able to do it.

It must be done, so it must be done, and before that, he must believe that he can do it, so that his mind can be clear.

It's still the same sentence: The avenue is three thousand, and he only cultivates his mind.

Everything he did after leaving Xining and coming to Kyoto was closely related to these three words.

Because only by following one's heart can one go against the destiny of heaven.

......

......

The abandoned garden looks around, the old wall autumn trees, the residual lotus on the pond withers early, and the petals of the old year under the plum tree are piled up, but they are not blown away by the wind.

I don't know the scenery, but I seem to have seen it somewhere.

He has not traveled thousands of miles, and he has seen a lot of scenery anywhere.

But he has read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles in books, and seen many landscapes.

With the scenery around the abandoned garden in mind, he sat down cross-legged by the pool, closed his eyes, calmed down, and began to reflect on the books he had read in the past.

There are Taoist treasures, travelogues, prose of the previous generation of Wenzong, and novels of ghosts and spirits.

It was the book he had read in the old temple in Xining Town, and it was also the book he had read in the library of the Anglican College.

He sat by the pool, his eyes closed, but countless books were turning before his eyes.

As if literate, the cold wind kept flipping through the books and then stopped on the pages he wanted to see.

Those pages have drawings and annotated text.

The Legend of Nanke

The Origin of the Temples

"Array Nest"

......

......

Chen Changsheng opened his eyes, stood up, and looked around the abandoned garden again.

The abandoned garden is still the previous garden, and the cold pool is still the previous pool, but in his eyes at this time, it is completely different.

The more than ten plum trees scattered on the side of the pond seem to be unrelated and have no deep meaning, but the scenery is the same in all seasons, and every time it remains the same, only wood remains.

The edge of the cold pond is rocky, and there is no break in the middle, and the old wall of the abandoned garden on the periphery is broken on the south side of the pool, where it seems that there is a way out into the night, but he knows that it is not a way out, but it is just an unfinished stroke.

The more than ten plum trees are standing in a row here.

That's the same thing.

There is a story written in the records of Nan Ke, there is a picture in the nest of the array, and in the theory of the origin of the palaces, it talks about a palace that was burned down in the previous dynasty.

That palace is called Kiriya.

A generation of emperors were imprisoned to death in the Tong Palace.

It is also a formation created by a certain generation of popes who have cultivated all their lives.

Chen Changsheng recognized this abandoned garden and this cold pool, what could he do?

Unless you reach the legendary Congsheng realm, it is possible to forcibly break through this Tong Palace.

Of course, any palace has a door, and any formation must leave a glimmer of life.

But from ancient times to the present, no one has ever dared to leave the birth gate of Tong Palace.

Because many years ago, the Tong Palace that was burned to ashes, there was a grim reaper guarding the door outside, and if you stay in the palace, you can still survive, and if you go out, you will definitely die.

Because blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, the so-called glimmer of life is often the place of death.

Chen Changsheng knew where the birth gate of the Tong Palace was.

The wind is born, and the water rises.

Where the night wind is born but not ended, where the water is gathering and not rising.

He looked at the cold pool in front of him and was silent.

The sound of graceful and solemn ceremonial music came from a distance outside the abandoned garden, from Weiyang Palace.

The southern mission was seated, and the guests from both sides had arrived.

He didn't think much about it anymore and walked directly to the cold pool.
